OpenStreet Maps - Good for pedestrians walk?
fujitsu replied to fujitsu's topic in GPS technology and devices
Hello! I tried it on Lisbon, my town. It seems that the route was for car driving because the path that the device chose. It did not choose the direct streets. I changed the map for the city navigator Garmin map and the route was more suitable for walking. Why am I using OpenStreetMap? Well my Garmin map it's a bit old and it is expensive to get a recent one so I was trying the OpenStreetMap to see how suitable it was for my use many thanks regards -
OpenStreet Maps - Good for pedestrians walk?
fujitsu replied to fujitsu's topic in GPS technology and devices
Hello! Yes I did. I did select my pedestrian profile on my Oregon 600. It has the Activity equal to Hiking. Should I choose the Pedestrian Walk activity? Many thanks -
Hello! Anyone has experience of the use of the openstreetmaps for pedestrian walks, on Garmin devices? I just tried it but it seems not so good for this kind of routes. The route it suggested was more for driving. Maybe the Openstreet Maps are for driving use only (?) or I have to do some kind of configuration Many thanks Regards experience of the use of the openstreet maps for pedestrian walks, on Garmin device? I just tried it but it seems not

Garmin eTrex 30 -- Track navigation question
fujitsu replied to happydutch's topic in GPS technology and devices
Hi I'm sorry but at first I would like to say that the forums are to help each other. Be patient If I well understood the question and if I remembered well the old etrex models allows to follow a track with notifications (compass, on track, off track, ...) directly. Now, with the new models, I have to create a route based on the track you want to follow. I usually do that with basecamp. This is valid for hiking or riding. Good rides / hiking Best regards for you all -
Hi, I'm not a professional geocacher but I suggest a GPS with electronic compass. My suggestions are (all at the same size): 1. Etrex 35 (new model. I do not know if it is already at stores - touch one ) 2. Etrex 30x 3. Etrex 30 4. Dakota 20 (Touch one) If you do not want the most update one the Etrex 30 or Dakota 20 is a good choice. Good caches

Oregon 6x0 (WebUpdater) software version 4.40
fujitsu replied to yogazoo's topic in GPS technology and devices
Hi, I expecting much more. The Oregon model and us deserve better. But indeed is good news. It is better than nothing -
Hi, I would like to get your opinion about the use of the microSD card. I have a microSD card on it with maps and waypoints and usually when I power on my Oregon it took much time to get ready and sometimes it seems it doesn't get all the data. In particular waypoints. I try to find some waypoints and they not appear. My question is: Do you use micro SD card? And if so what is your experience with it? Any recommendations to use it properly? Many thanks

Does Garmin give up from outdoor GPS
fujitsu replied to fujitsu's topic in GPS technology and devices
Hi All, I have a Oregon 600. It is my fourth Garmin GPS. I really do not need a new model but in the past Garmin was much more active. We had a new sw release once a month. And Oregon still has some bugs. In my opinion the oregon is a good device but it could be better if Garmin wants that to. My question is mainly regarding the sw releases and not regarding new models. I wish a good year for you all and for Garmin to. Regards AA -
Hi, It seems that Garmin give up from outdoor GPS. In the recent past it was usually we have frequent sw updates with bug fixes or even new functionalities. What are your opinion? Do you think that Garmin lost to smartphones? I sincerely hope not because I prefer a GPS than a smartphone. merry Christmas to all AA

fujitsu replied to Catch's topic in GPS technology and devices
Hi, only to say that this new firmware version has problems. "Multiple reports of frequent lock-ups and crashes" It is your choice. I am a little bit dissapointed with garmin. Two consecutive releases with this kind of problems Some people has no problems. Strange. regards -

Garmin Oregon 6xx Firmware Version 3.70
fujitsu replied to Barrikady's topic in GPS technology and devices
Hi, I just revert to 3.60. I am a little bit disappointed with this new firmware version. Lets see what will Garmin do next week The software is also checking for the right GMA to the right map, who knows what's it doing more That is one of the reasons for revert. I understand why Garmin doing it but I have no money now to buy expensive maps -
Hi, I would like to share an odd behavior of my Oregon 600 with v3.60. My Oregon sometimes takes to much time to loading waypoint, tracks and routes when I turns on the GPS. With the exactly same data. I have a microsd installed on it. And sometimes the Oregon does not show the waypoints saved on the Microsd. Then I reboots the GPS and they appear. I noticed this with this new firmware version. I could not assure that this did not happen with last firmware version Does someone else detect the same behavior? Thank you

I already did it. It was a network problem in my office.

Hi, I suggest Trackmaker. It's free and it seems acceptable. It also has a non free version but we could do much things with the free one. http://www.trackmaker.com/
